BRAVO UZBEKISTAN!
(Report Number #124 reprinted with permission from the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs) JINSA Report 1717 K Street N.W., Suite 800
December 6, 1999, Report Number #124
149-3-2; 139-1-3; 92-2-53; 108-3-48; 107-3-47; and 151-3-2 What are they? Well, they might be terrific college football coaching records. They might be good lottery picks. They might be bank vault combinations. But they aren't. They actually represent a day's work for the UN General Assembly, mucking around in the Middle East -- an area in which "mischievous" and "irrelevant" are the nicest adjectives one can ascribe. On December 1, the General Assembly passed six non-binding resolutions, the most interesting element of which is the voting pattern of some of America's friends.
. Bravo Uzbekistan! Since every country seems willing to judge Israel, it surely wasn't easy to announce an abstention. More than 20 countries were absent rather than record any position. And some voted against Israel less out of ill will than thinking that non-binding resolutions don't matter. Where your friends stand always matters. JINSA visited Uzbekistan last month precisely because we understood that the Uzbek government was determined to pursue a pro-American and pro-Israel foreign policy. And so they are. The Administration and Congress should respond accordingly.
